Dear Mark and Alison,
Thank you very much for your reply and advice. Robin has Crohn's and he started ThreeLac because having been on his regular medication Pentasa or Asacol, he was not controlling the illness well. This became even clearer after the long term use and added stress at work. After five weeks of ThreeLac 2 sachets and sensible diet, (he must not have very runny dairy and very oily food, fried in dripping oil, as well as avoiding sugar), he was able to control his diarrhea and lead a normal life working long hours and having enough energy. He has been well for the last three years.
He slowly went up to 4 ThreeLacs and now he is back on two again. Even after the recent food poisoning this summer, with the joint efforts of ThreeLac and good diet he is back on his feet. Hopefully, he will achieve full recovery.
Thank you again for all the caring conversations and guidance that helped us and gave us a great moral support.
Kind Regards

Hi Mark & Alyson,
Just thought I'd share this amazing story of what happened to me today at my doctor's appointment.
I saw the Physician's Assistant Robin at my OB/Gyn's office today, and she hands me copies of all my recent test results. She says to follow along with her while we go over them, and she compared my previous blood tests to the current ones. All my tests were good. Bone density, mammogram, ultrasound, and the blood test all normal (no surprise really). She then turns around in her chair and looks at me and asks, "You're on a probiotics plan aren't you?" I'm like yea, Threelac. Ok here's the part you'll just love! She said that she could not believe the difference in my blood tests. Although previously normal (test just prior to ThreeLac), they were on the low end of normal in some areas including my thyroid. This last test (5 weeks on ThreeLac) showed a huge improvement across the board as well as my thyroid! She said she's never seen this in such a short period of time, and she wanted to know more about ThreeLac. I about fell off the exam table!!! We then had a 20 minute conversation about everything, and she explained that she had recently tried a probiotic program that didn't really work, and was looking for a better one. She also said she knew the current medical regimen wasn't working, and that probiotics are definitely going to be the wave of the future. I came home and faxed her the information from your website! I'm still in shock!
Have a great day!

Mark,
Just wanted to tell you something funny. Here I spend SO much time trying to HIDE the Threelac powder in food and drinks for my 3 yr old son. Well, today he saw me just pouring the powder into my mouth. He asked what I was doing and I said "I'm taking my medicine". He said "I feel sick...I need some medicine too!". So, I opened another pouch and poured some into his mouth. He followed that with some water. He loved it and asked for more several times. So for all your customers that worry about getting their kids to take it....tell them, you just never know....kids will surprise you!!! :-)
I know just from his behavior that it is working and that he must have had terrible yeast overgrowth before. He really no longer seems autistic most of the time. By the way.... My 9 yr old daughter, who has had fears/phobias and OCD since she was about 18 months old....seems to be almost cured!! The fears seem to be gone. My son used to have a huge fear of spider webs...which also is gone. Amazing!!
Thanks so much for all your help and support!! The Threelac is really helping my family!! Happy New Year!! (It is going to be a GREAT one!!)

Hi Alyson and Mark,
I'm now on 3 ThreeLacs a day and feeling just great! No more sinus headaches and I've lost a lot of weight which is a real bonus.
I also wanted to tell you that I told a friend of mine about THreeLac. She has terrible sinus headaches and has been doing so well and feeling so much better!
I really feel I can start decreasing the ThreeLac now, and continue to watch my diet.
Have a wonderful Holiday Season and I hope 2008 is all you could wish it to be.
Best regards,
Nicci

Subject: RA PROGRESS!!!!
Hi Mark and Alyson!
I am happy to be writing you with wonderful news....I am getting better!!!! My RA symptoms have been disappearing almost on a weekly basis. My fatigue is almost just a memory and my swelling is almost gone as well. Even my worst knuckles have begun to show improvement! All that remains is some stiffness/soreness in the balls of my feet and some morning stiffness/soreness in my knuckles, but even this all but disappears within a few minutes of being awake. I still have one finger that is being stubborn, but for the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm getting my life back! I can get down and play on the floor with my children, do some yoga, all my daily tasks are a breeze, and I can even open water bottles again! Even though I saw some improvement upon starting three-lac (almost 9 months ago) it wasn't until I REALLY got my bowls under control that I saw some drastic improvement. My friends and family are amazed at the difference and I'm thrilled to say that I am 100% medication free!!! I keep recalling my rhuematologist's response when I asked him to reduce my meds, he said "Oh, no! You will get much worse......." Well, I'm not only off meds completely (Methotrexate), but I am getting well.....thank God!!!!! I am even eating wheat and cheese and yeast again (although in small quantities) and it does not bother me anymore. I do notice that stress will bring on symptoms, but even that is manageable. I truly feel that it was by God's grace that I stumbled upon your website while looking for yeast free foods, and I know that I will be in good health once again in great part to you both and to three-lac. I wish there was a way to get the word out to others with RA. While it may not cure everyone, it is certainly something to explore. It took great discipline and commitment, but it is working! I hope to be completely cured within the next year. Thank you for all your support, suggestions, and direction. I am so grateful! I'll keep you posted on things, but just wanted to share some great news.
Take care.
Sincerely,
Rachael D.

Hi Mark and Alyson,
My 22 year-old daughter is doing REALLY well and although she lives on her own near her college, I can hear the difference in her voice on the phone. She sounds more energetic, positive, excited about everything in her life and she's stuttering SO much less than before. She said she has a lot more energy and is feeling clearer mentally. She has also lost a lot of water weight, especially in her torso and has lost her craving for sugar and starchy foods. I actually have too, we both LOVE fruit now and prefer it to sugary stuff we used to crave.
Take care,
Lauren

Hi Mark,
Thanks, again, for all your advice. Just wanted to let you know that two days after we spoke last week, I had gotten some blood test results back. My intention was to get some ‘baseline’ readings at the start of taking ThreeLac to compare at the completion of my program.
As you know, I had been on ThreeLac for only about 3.5 weeks (then had my relapse, thanks to the Splenda cake I baked ?). Well – despite all of this, I was completely astounded at the results I had experienced in that 3.5 weeks. I didn’t expect to see anything until the 3-6 months of being on ThreeLac.
To my surprise, my triglycerides were normal for the first time in 15 years, and my LDL went down significantly. And – my CRP (C-reactive protein that measures inflammation) went from 20 to 3.2… IN RANGE NOW! My SED rate (another inflammatory marker) went from 20 to 7 – in range now! And my two liver tests ALT and AST that were out of whack (54 and 49) are now normal at 16 and 22!!!
I think my comments to you early on were, “I don’t expect this to work.” After 15 years of being told that nothing was wrong, and that I had fibromyalgia (which I never felt was accurate), or that it was all in my head, I was skeptical to say the least. Only when my CRP levels were three times the amount they are supposed to be, did a doctor finally say, “Something’s not right.”
So, according to the “numbers,” I no longer have the test results indicative of the ‘unidentifiable autoimmune disease’ that they labeled me with. I am excited to see if the other symptoms start to resolve once I get myself back on track after my ‘relapse.’ As you know, I did a ton of elimination diets with Canyon Ranch over the past few years to see if food allergies were responsible for my inflammation, but nothing ever showed up conclusively.
The ONLY thing that has changed recently is the addition of ThreeLac to my diet! There is no question that this is what changed my blood test results. Diet, alone, did nothing to reduce my levels – and nothing helped with my cholesterol, either.
Thank you SO, so very much! I will give you a progress report in a few months!
(Feel free to publish my comments, or to wait until my update. Whichever. I want people to know that the numbers simply don’t lie!)

I hope this e-mail finds you well. Francisco, our (autistic) son, is doing great. We are already at three packets per day of threelac and we have experienced almost no die-off reaction. He is using complex language, socializing a lot with his baby sister and even negotiating with us. Every day he surprises us with something new. Thank you for your help.

Hello Warren, I enjoyed speaking with you this morning-thanks for your time: As I told you, I have been on 3-lac, O2 Enhancer, Enzymes and replacement minerals for about a month now, and I feel great! The awful fatigue I had previously has pretty much lifted and I now have the energy I thought I had lost forever. (No problem doing a full workout in the AM and going fishing all afternoon. I'm sure I couldn't.have done it without your help.
Best regards

Hi Mark,
I think you may remember me, I had contacted you some time ago about my son Dylan and his autism. He was officially diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome about a year ago, which is a autistic spectrum disorder (previously diagnosed with Sensory Intergration Dysfunction). I do think part of his diagnosis is neurologically based (probably from vaccines), but his sensory dysfunction is definitely largely in part due to yeast overgrowth. I can say that he has been virtually yeast-free for over a year now...it took almost a year to rid him of it and since then we have had occasional relapses, but nothing that ThreeLac can't fix quickly. Part of the reason for these relapses are due to my husband and I who also battle yeast. My husband actually got a yeast infection that was vicious! ThreeLac took care of it though! I do not think that it was as severe as Dylan's case, because the ThreeLac helped to clear it up rather quickly. I even took it when I was pregnant (unexpectedly) this past year when I was diagnosed with a strep infection and subsequently got a yeast infection (first ever in my 30 years!) from the antibiotics! It was amazing! I was symptom free within 2 days!
I hope you and Alyson are in good health, and thank you again for helping with Dylan's detox and recovery!
Sincerely,
Kari O.

Hello, Mark and Alyson,
I found your candidafree site over two years ago, and started using 3Lac. Up until that time my health had deteriorated to the point where I was walking with a cane and my muscles felt like uncontrolled jello inside me.
After taking 3Lac for two weeks, I felt an amazing improvement in my muscles and put away my cane. It was too miraculous. I have recently started trying to teach my husband about yeast and all that and I think we are about to go on a total cleansing regimen.
Of course there are other symptoms I and my hubby need to work on. But after 2 1/5 years my muscles are still good and my strength and coordination and energy level have been improving all that time.
Thank you for your website. It's good to hear the testimony of those who found the CURE!!
Sincerely,
Ally M.

Dear Alyson & Mark,
Threelac has been such a blessing to me that I thought I would share my results with you. My story started over 5 years ago when I developed some gastrointestinal problems. It started slowly with acid reflux, then built to more troubling problems which included abdominal cramps, bloating, mucus/phlegm build up, constant nausea, constipation and the worst which was a nighttime vomiting of bile. This lasted for about 3-4 years and gradually worsened over time. If the gastro intestinal problems weren’t bad enough I started to develop other problems around Thanksgiving of 2005. These problems included shoulder pain, anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings, insomnia, sensitivity to noises and light, crawling skin, tingling feet, anemia, depression and last but not least a white film on my tongue. Needless to say I spent my share of time at doctor’s offices including a week stay at Mayo Clinic where I was told I had idiopathic gastroperisis and was sent home with a prescription for Reglan. This only made my anxiety worse and my condition continued on a downward spiral with no improvement in sight.
From January 2006 through October 2006 I continued to struggle and sought a number of other treatments including physical therapy and acupuncture which helped a bit with the symptoms but didn’t address the root cause. When I thought I finally reached the end and feared that I was going to lose my job I believe the good Lord directed me to you. It was a real blessing that I came across your web site through the recommendation of one of your customers. When I read the information I felt like my last 5 years of life was flashing in front of me. I scored off the charts on your quiz and was convinced that Candida was the cause of my problems. I was a little skeptical at first as I have been down so many paths only to be disappointed each time, but I was willing to give this a try as I had nothing to lose.
My results with Threelac can best be characterized as a nice steady progress month by month. Each month a symptom or two seemed to get better. First some of the nausea started to lessen, then the anxiety problems started to clear up, then the vomiting stopped and after about two months a real blessing occurred and I started to sleep through the night again. Getting 8 hours of sleep again was a miracle!
After about 6 months I can now say that I am almost symptom free and back to leading a pretty normal life. I can’t thank Mark and Alyson enough for all your advice and coaching along the way. The recommendations of additional minerals to take really helped and I would recommend to all who read this to follow their instructions. I did and even when things were going slowly I kept the faith and stuck with the plan.

Alyson,
A friend of mine referred me to your website, which I have found very helpful. I continue to improve everyday and now my acne is starting to go away after just 5 days! AMAZING!! I am thrilled with the product. Thanks SO much for all your help and your most helpful website. I was just married 5 months ago, and went on heavy antibiotics for a urinary tract infection, and since then have suffered so many health issues that are now starting to diminish. My husband and I are very relieved after so many doctor's visits with not much helpful advice ( and I am a nurse!!). I've been a nurse for 10 years and was not familiar with candida overgrowth to the degree that your website has explained it. I wish that there was some way to get this information circulating in the medical community, which sadly, often ignores healthy alternatives to medication. Anyway, thanks again for your help!

Hi Alyson,
Great news! I have been feeling so good since beginning my Threelac program a few weeks ago, that I went back to my general practitioner (didn't trust my rheumatologist) to have another blood panel done to see if my Rheumatoid Arthritis levels were improving. Got the results today and heard the following:
RA factor was drastically reduced, still on the high side but went from 167 to 45 (normal being 13)
C-Reactive proteins were not only normal, but on the LOW end of normal!
Sed rate....again, on the LOW end of normal
What wonderful news!!! I am hoping to scale back on the meds and be off them before the year is out. I will keep you posted, but just felt like sharing the great news.
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,

Dear Mark;
Well, over two years has passed since I called you on Christmas eve and discovered threelac. My son was not speaking and was two and a half years old. I had every symptom of Fibromyalgia and we were both suffering greatly.
I am so glad to say that we are both so much better! Thomas just had his exit IEP from developmental preschool, and tests above average or average in every category. All evaluators described him as very bright, charming, engaging, inquisitive, and social! He made a new "best friend" with the school psychologist, and is VERY VERY VERBAL, to the point of exhaustion!!! At age 4 he uses words like "indeed", and "that's tragic". I give Thomas a three lac packet once or twice a week.
I am doing pretty well too. Fibro-wise I am better.
I have referred about 6 people to you for three lac, including my husbands ex wife and my hairdresser. I know it works!!!
Just wanted to update you on our great progress, and I credit Threelac for saving my son from a world of autism hell.
Thank you for spreading the word through your work!!!
Very sincerely.

Hi,
I'm up to 6 and a half ThreeLac daily. Every time I increase, I get a little better and thank God I continue to get better and better every week. I am even walking about 4 and a half miles a week and can do anything I did before I fell ill. I figured it out one day I had 27 different illnesses/symptoms that I no longer have (including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and migraine headaches). Just thought you might want to know.

Subject: thank-you!
Dear Mark and Alyson,
I wanted to write a quick note of thanks.
Thanks to your description on CandidaFree.net, I decided to give Threelac a shot. The results are amazing!
Several years ago I had what must have been a bad attack of Candida after a bout of heavy antibiotics for inner ear infections. I eventually lost 50 lbs. and was dangerously skinny. Doctors ran every test they could think of, and finally concluded that it was “all in my head”. But I couldn’t stop the nausea and diarrhea every time I tried to eat anything. Eventually my father suggested a three day fast, and then once each day introduce a new food into my diet. I started with rice, then spinach, then oatmeal, and eventually worked my way back to health. It took months, but eventually I considered myself “normal”. But even at “normal” I suffered from bloating, gas, reactions to certain foods, lots of mucous, coated tongue, painful protracted periods and depression. I thought perhaps this was the beginning of menopause. I’m a vegetarian, very health conscious and active, and felt like something wasn’t quite right. That’s when I stumbled on your website discussing Candida. I decided to give it a try. I admit I was a bit skeptical. The first couple days I was surprised at how quickly I experienced die off reactions. I thought it would take awhile. I was dizzy and nauseous. I even wrote to you asking if this was normal or an adverse reaction to Threelac. You were kind enough to respond right away. Then morning three I woke up, shocked that nerve pain from some dental work over a year ago was gone. What in the world did that have to do with Threelac? I had no idea, but it certainly gave me the incentive to keep on going. I’m at week four and a brand new person. Many things I’ve noticed have been complete surprises. The bloated stomach is gone. My last period was 3 days and PAIN FREE!!! I’ve got incredible energy. The depression is gone! The white coating on my tongue barely exists anymore. I don’t need Kleenex, because my nose doesn’t run. My skin is flawless.
It’s hard to believe I thought my former self was “normal”. Obviously I had forgotten what “normal” was like. Thank-you so much for your website. I would have NEVER achieved these results using my own self-diagnosis. I’m a new person. THANK-YOU!

Dear Alyson,
Just a note to fill you in on my experience with ThreeLac after using it for 4 1/2 months now. I've had all kinds of "miracles" occur as a result of using it, including the cessation of a sore throat that I've had every day of my life for I can't remember how many years (or more accurately, decades). My itching ear canals are no more and the white spots in the back of my throat are gone. In the last year, I had developed a burning sensation in my lungs and it is now gone (except when I'm breathing the cold winter air). And the icing on the cake has been to be able to sing again without pain or having my voice crack. And this may sound a little strange, but I can also cry again after many years of having to discipline myself not at difficult times in life when one would, naturally, need to. I had so much trouble breathing because of throat and nose congestion that I couldn't afford the additional swelling that accompanies crying. I can, once again, feel the the rush of air down the back of my throat when I inhale and I am so very grateful. I believe I still have a little more recovery to do, but I would say I'm 75% better.
I'm so fortunate to have found your website.
Best wishes,
Cara A.

Hi Mark,
I started taking Three Lac and Oxygen Elements on January 9 of this year (almost four weeks ago), but had such terrible symptoms (brain fog, overwhelming sleepiness, nausea and diarrhea) that I decided to not take the Oxygen Elements until I figured out what was causing them. I continued with the Three Lac and was just amazed when all those problems disappeared and I started to feel better than I had in a long time! I am going to start taking the Oxygen Elements again and hope that I won’t experience the die-off symptoms that I had before, but if I do, I assume they won’t last too long.
I do have to tell you that I was very skeptical about this product before I started to feel better. My persistent vaginal yeast infection is finally gone, my skin is clearing up, my mind is clear, I’m sleeping like a baby, and aches and pains that I didn’t even know that I had (until they were gone) disappeared.
Thanks for bringing me this product via the internet, and thanks in advance for your reply.
Sincerely,
Melissa L.

Dear Mark and Allison,
You e-mailed me a while go regarding how I found the use of ThreeLac. Let me just preface this with the fact that last year was the most stressful year I had. My mother, who I was very close with died over the summer. Last year also saw the ending of my marriage (we are still very good friends, though), a major car accident and the death of my beloved aunt a month after my mother passed. WHEW!
I started ThreeLac in November of 2005 because I was having monthly vaginal yeast infections. I had tried everything and all the my GYN could tell me was "It looks like you are going to have to live with it on a monthly basis". I went to a great dietician here who had me do some testing and it turned out the candida was evident in my body...I was suffering from candida overgrowth syndrome. NOTHING prevented the yeast infections and I tried every single thing. Two months after starting the ThreeLac my vaginal infections disappeared. Over the course of the year I had one infection. Nothing compared to what I was going through before. In fact, ThreeLac so changed my life, my gynecologist called me and asked me for the information on ThreeLac...then another gyno called me and asked for the information. Amazing!
I take one packet of ThreeLac a day. The week before my period I increase it to two. Around the holidays I took two packets a day because my sugar intake increased. I swear that taking the ThreeLac during my stressful year helped too. Normally, stress would also bring on a yeast infection for me.
This has been a total lifesaver for me! Thank you so much and I am spreading the word.
Happy New Year!

Hi Mark,
I want to thank you so much for your helpful web-site and email. It was because of your words that I decided to try Threelac, and it has made a huge difference in my life. I have suffered with constant eczema for 25 years. I have been to so many doctors and nothing worked. After being on 5 packets of threelac a day (with the oxygen elements) for 4 weeks my eczema completely went away. I am down to 2 packets a day now (3 months total) and I am still completely cured. I can only describe it as a miracle! Thank you so very much.
Warm regards,
Shawn Nelson
P.S.
I am an biochemist working in R&D for the diagnostics division of a Seattle biotech company. I have a theory as to why Threelac works for eczema. I understand that you have a science background as well, and would be interested in your thoughts on this. Over the years I have noticed a very strong correlation between the severity of the eczema and the intake of dairy products. Whenever I would cut out all dairy for long periods of time, the eczema would (almost) disappear. Also, when I consumed processed food with added "milk solids" or casein (milk proteins), the eczema was severe. I am wondering if the Candida overgrowth out-competes the lactobacillus in the intestine, preventing the digestion or processing of milk proteins. Just a thought. My expertise is with viral and autoimmune diseases, so I am far from an expert on Candida. Just wondering if you have heard anything similar?
(Note from Mark: This is precisely what the yeast overgrowth does, and what ThreeLac replenishes in the intestine. Eczema is only one of many allergic-type reactions that can occur.)
Date: 12/12/2006
Hi:
I must tell you the wonderful results I have had so far with the Threelac. My digestion has improved, my reflex has almost totally dissipated, I have fewer headaches, less bloating, better energy, NO nausea, and I've put a little weight on. My system is very reactive so I have not yet been able to do two packets a day, 7 days a week. Right now I'm only doing two packets three times a week. I'm very encouraged by my results so far. I am eager to see what happens as I slowly increase. I believe the gastroparesis I was diagnosed with is secondary to the fungal infection.
Your product has truly been a Godsend to me, the best Christmas present I could have ever hoped for!

Mark and Alyson,
I feel incredible! I feel better than I did in my twenties and thirties. For the first time in years, I've been able to control my emotions. My cycle is back to normal. If I get a headache, I can use an icepack, lie down and it will go away. My energy is worrying my kids, their afraid I just won't stop!!! I've attempted to go down and still can't. I firmly believe that I had a very serious yeast infection. My doctors were medicating me for everything - migraines, anxiety, and even depression. Now I am off ALL meds and can finally take charge of my life. I am able to concentrate on a weight loss program, under the direction of a doctor and have recently lost 20 lbs. I can't begin to express my deepest appreciation for this product. I also started my whole family on it. My nine year old takes one and for the first time since starting school he has not gotten strep throat whereas every year since he started school, he always was home sick with strep. My 11 year old is taking two, she too had problems with strep and is showing no signs of it this year. My 15 year old is taking 4; at 5' 10" and 180 lbs, he is big enough for the dose and is also doing well; he would always get white puss on his tonsils and very sluggish. Now he is energetic and there are no lines of infection in his throat. My husband too is taking 4 packages, he had many joint pains and rashes that have all gone away. What's impressed me too is the mouth sores that they all would get, now if they do get one, it goes away quickly. Sorry for the long reply but I really love this stuff and wanted to share it with you. I feel 200% better!

Subject: Testimonial
Dear Mark and Allison,
I was blessed to find your website by accident back in April 06 and wanted you to share my testimony. Back in Dec 05 I had upper GI problems, a lot of gas, belching, nausea and a weight loss of 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Shortly after I had a sleep disorder, could not fall asleep or stay asleep, then things progressively got worse; burning in my extremities, extremely dry nose, mouth, eyes, sensitivity to cold or heat environments, skin rashes, anxiety, panic attacks, dizziness, fatigue, pain in my muscles, restless leg syndrome, and fear of being alone. I became depressed and hopeless as no physician/specialist could diagnose me; all tests, mri, scans, ultrasounds, endoscopy, blood work etc. were normal except an elevated wbc, neutrophil count. I had to leave my job as a Registered Nurse because of the extreme burning in my stomach, arms, back, and the fatigue I was experiencing. I was subscribed a numerous amount of different medications over a 5 month period, including every sleep med. I felt like my life was in a physical downhill spiral, and then I came upon your website. God bless you and Allison for putting this information out there, and answering questions I had. I am working again and have been taking Three Lac since May, because of this product all these terrible symptoms are gone and I am not taking any medications. I have sound restful sleep again, and a renewed outlook on life. It was unfortunate to see as many physicians as I did and not one of them thought about Candida, including the GI specialist . I am so grateful to the both of you and especially the researchers who developed this product.. I recommend your website to many, and hope they too find recovery through Three Lac.
Sincerely, Elaine, RN

Mark and Alyson,
I'm writing to let you know that I've had to change my whole outlook on health, thanx to the success I've had with Threelac. I had suffered for over 10 years with constant candida, and thought I'd always remain that way as I was only ever prescribed antibiotics. I never realised that so many other of my problems were due to candida overgrowth. Depression, fatigue, dry skin, dandruff, and loads of female related problems. I came across your website whilst working in Japan in April; ordered the product thinking it could do me no harm; and was amazed by the result. After an intial period of flu like symptoms, my energy levels went up dramatically, and slowly but surely, over the next few months, I started to feel so much better.
Now, after 6 months, I'm taking one a day as a maintenance measure. I feel fantastic. Furthermore, for someone who got sick at the drop of a hat, I have had one small cold that lasted only a few days. That's it. Pretty much perfect health. I'm so impressed with this product, and have already got 2 of my friends taking it.
Now, I'm living in Ireland, and still plan to take it daily to keep me healthy.
Your website is fantastic, and I thank you for making this information available to everyone. You've saved my sanity!
Kind regards,
Sharon

Subject: Alyson and Mark - Success!
Dear Alyson and Mark,
Just thought I should drop you a quick note of appreciation.
Alyson may recall that I started Threelac last October. Gradually increased my dose up to 4 packets and then back down to 1.
It took approximately 5 months for all symptoms to go away.
I'm continuing to take 1 packet a day, as recommended, for maintenance.
I'm a 53 yr old male, who battled with rashes/itching back in the early 90's, and then again in the past year. Had itching, hives, rashes, etc.
Thanks for responding, and for all the info you sent to help me learn how to use Threelac.
A local naturopath I recently visited, doesn't give much credence to products sold by way of the internet. I also tend to be skeptical, but thought Threelac was worth a try...nothing to lose but a few bucks.
Thanks again.
All the best, Ave K. (White Plains, NY)

Hi Mark
I just wanted to thank you for your insights and knowledge sharing.
I've had Candida on and off for the last 15 years. As someone with a weak immune system I don’t think its until now that I realised that Candida has often been the root of the problem. I pretty much ended up self diagnosing myself again after trying to treat Hyperventilation Syndrome (dizziness attacks) without much luck. Threelac has helped A LOT to alleviate the symptoms and get me back to something resembling normal. I've since recommended it onto 3 friends and hope they will have the same success - one is already feeling better.
When I get some time I will be looking more closely into the links between Hyperventilation Syndrome, depression and IBS so I really understand what has been going on but I think I an trace a lot of it back to long stints on antibiotics. Thanks for helping me get back in control of my moods, energy levels and weight (I hadn't been able to drop the weight gain on Cypromil until now.) I haven't really been using the OE - tend to forget so I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes but when I ran out of threelac - I'd been on about 3 a day - I realised how much it was helping as I went down hill again.
Finally, as someone who normally comes down with the flu regularly, ever since I've been on Threelac I seem to have been able to combat the beginnings of sore throats etc.
Thanks so much and best of luck to you!!!

Dear Mark and Alyson,
I have always known I have Candida. Looking back, I can remember symptoms as young as 5 years old. I started taking ThreeLac a month ago and have seen improvements in vaginal dryness and dry skin patches already. My symptoms were never major or anything I could relate to any diseases.
My daughter, Hannah, is now 18 and is PDD-NOS. We did not see symptoms of anything until she was about 5 and could not get along with other children. When her IQ started to go down, I requested an independent evaluation. She was 10 years old before the Cleveland Clinic diagnosed Autism and Mental Retardation. She is considered high functioning and attends a regular school in a special needs classroom. She had numerous ear infections as a toddler, and consequently, many antibiotics. The "Candida" doctor in our area did not think Hannah had a problem. We did see improvement during a trial study for a new enzyme through this same doctor.
I started Hannah on ThreeLac also and within a week she came into the living room, sat down and started talking on her own. This is socializing, which is not a word you use for Autistic children. She only talks and holds conversations when we ask her something or she has a question or information to relay to us. Hannah also has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which can cause Cancer and/or Diabetes if not treated. We may possibly see improvement in this area also.
I could go on and on. I am so pleased to find you and your testimonials.
Thank you,
Sandy H.

Hello,
I would like to add myself to your testimonial list as someone who has had great success with Threelac.
I was put on 2 months of antibiotics for a chronic infection in December 2006. Some 2-3 weeks into the course of the antibiotics I started to develop many of the symptoms that I now know to be Candida related. These included nausea, fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, thrush, weight loss, mental confusion, depression, stomach aches, and diarrhea, and body itching. For a few weeks I had to stop taking the antibiotic, but due to the fact that the chronic infection had not cleared up, the doctors suggested I start taking them again. Within days the symptoms returned, and at the end of March, I actually took myself to the local hospital, because I felt so awful. They proceeded to do a lot of blood tests, all of which were negative, and I was left wondering what on earth was wrong with me. I couldn't believe that I was just imagining these awful symptoms.
By chance I came across some research on Candida on the web, and reading further I cam to the conclusion that I must have Candida. This was further confirmed by the Saliva Test.
I returned to my GP, who stated categorically that it could not be Candida, whatever I might have read, and it was really only a problem for people who are HIV+. However, in the belief that I had Candida I started a yeast / sugar free diet. This proved extremely difficult to maintain, even in the short term. However I was fortunate enough to find some information on and recommendation for ThreeLac. I ordered two boxes, and started taking it -- starting with 1 a day, leading up to 4 a day, which I am currently taking.
Within a week of taking the original dose, my symptoms started to abate. One month later (i.e., now) 90% of the symptoms have gone. I still have some minor fatigue and body itching, however I intend to carry on taking it for as long as necessary.
All I can say is.. THANK YOU ThreeLac!! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it to other Candida sufferers.
Thanks,
Andy

Dear Mark,
Your email has been a God send. I ordered it the day I received your email and received it 2 days later. Started taking threelac and within 4 days I stopped breaking out in a rash that I had for 30 years. Also my joint pain was better and now 2 weeks later I am getting around better than I have in years without any joint pain at all. Stopped all medications which included Methotrexate and plaquenil which were killing me. Just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You may use my results on your website. If it will help encourage other people in making the right decision to stop Methotrexate. I am a nurse and I know how bad this drug can be for people.
Thank you,

Dear Mark,
I am another success story of 3-Lac. I came across your web site while searching on Candida in early January this year (in fact it was the first one I found and I didn't feel I needed to look any further). I suffered from a great many of the symptoms you have listed on your site, with the most debilitating being severe chronic pain & aches (like having a bad flu), psychological symptoms of anxiety, unexplained fears & phobias, rapid pulse, tremors, hypoglycemia - for large parts of the day I was bed ridden.
Like yourself I had spent thousands of dollars on alternative treatments over a period of 15 months, each promising to be the missing link between my condition and a return to health. nothing worked, most actually made me worse. General practitioners were quick to hand out anti-depressants which I refused to take as I felt depression was a symptom - NOT the cause.
I started taking 3-Lac a few days into the start of this year along with oxygen elements plus at the same time. Starting at just 1 pack a day I gradually increased my does up to 5 over a period of several months. I also went on a sort of diet by making sure I eliminated all yeasty things for the first 34 months. (This in itself cause quite a die-off reaction). After about 3 months I was feeling significantly better in all manner of symptoms, by month 5 I was practically there, and now after 6 months I know I am. I have fantastic health and well-being again. I am tramping (hiking), walking and training as I did several years ago. Even my asthma I have had since age 6 has very almost gone!
Thank you for your web site and bringing me and obviously thousands of other in touch with a marvelous product that actually works!! Please feel free to use this as a testimonial and include my name and details if you wish.

Mark and Alyson,
I just wanted to write and give you an update on my progress. I'm improving now by leaps and bounds. The last month has seen a big reduction in my anxiety/depression and mood swings that accompanied what I'm now sure was a healing crisis. I went off that diet. Although I am still restrictive with what I eat, I eat bread and fruit and cheese all in moderation. But what I learned and wanted to share in your testimonials is that my stress level really seemed to affect my progress, and I think it affected the Threelac too. When I graduated and finished all my stress-inducing projects, I got better MUCH more quickly.
But I really can't thank you enough Mark for encouraging me during those rough times and for having enough confidence in the product to reinstill my confidence when it was waning. I just ordered another case of Threelac. I've been on Threelac since late October of 2005 and Oxygen Elements since around January of 2006. So, I have been one of the slower cases. But I'm getting better and that's the main thing. I feel SO much better than I did. I'm guessing I still have a ways to go, but it's much easier to be patient now.
Thanks again for all your hard work and good faith!
Bless you both,
Amy

Hi Mark
It really does BLOODY work. I have had recurring CANDIDA for years. I would go the usual route of ANTI CANDIDA pills and potions PLUS the awful DIET. Came across your web site while looking for a MIRACLE CURE for my latest, and very bad, dose of CANDIDA. I thought you were talking through your nether regions. I'm age 73 and have never felt this healthy or fit for years. Once I had the THREE LAC and OE in my hands I took both, one tube and 3 drops, before going to bed that day. No B.S., the following I got up to a strange feeling, I was raring to go. For breakfast I had fresh fruit and wheatgerm and one slice of wholewheat toast with honey. Now as you well know most of this is banned on the anti-candida. Well the days went into weeks and my improvment has continued. I know my search is over I have found my MIRACLE cure. Life is good again. If I have to take one tube a day for the rest of my life, so be it, it's a small price to pay for GOOD ROBUST HEALTH. I raise my glass of wine (banned by the usual anti candida diet) to you both.
To anyone who is reading this I have no dealings with MARK and his good lady. I don't even buy my Three Lac + OE from them, I live in ENGLAND and get my stuff locally. Please, please try it, it really DOES WORK..

I just want to add our family testimonial.... after one week taking threelac 1. I have less dry skin especially patches on arms and behind ears 2. daughter #1 has no more chest pain and shallow cough (the reason I stumbled upon threelac when doing research) 3. daughter #2 got an all clear at the ear/nose/throat specialist after 2 years of swollen tonsils and sore throat 4. daughter #4 has better eczema and her symptoms of aspersers are declining i.e. better eye contact, laughing, social interactions. 5. My husband has not commented yet. I take 2 packets a day. Daughter #1 is taking 3 a day. the rest are taking one a day. There is a money back guarantee so I thought it would be worth a try. We definitely will stay on it and see what happens. I NEVER thought all these symptoms could be related. I find it hard to believe this is all coincidence.

Subject: You Saved My Life
Mark and Alyson,
My name is Astrid and I needed to write to let you know that you and Threelac have saved my life. I've been battling this infection for longer than I really know and two month ago I found myself with no options. My yeast infections were constant and Difulcan would do nothing. The only thing that helped was taking massive quantities of liquid acidophilus. Yet it did not completely clear my infection. My short term memory had gotten so bad that it was becoming a real problem in my relationship with my husband and at work (I'm a law professor). When I taught class the mental effort that I had to put in was so great that afterwards my fatigue was almost debilitating. Two months ago I sat down at the computer and started to look for answers. My husband said that he believed I was suffering from adult ADD. I was looking for info. on this when I came upon your site. I read the whole thing and knew that this was my last hope and that God was giving me the answer I was looking for. Its been two months and after several healing crisis my symptoms have gotten so much better. I finally have an effective weapon to battle this thing with. I still have many symptoms but every day I feel better and better. My yeast infection has cleared almost 100 percent, my mental capacity has improved. Thank you so much for giving me the information I needed to fight this infection.
God bless you both.

Subject: Update on Fibromyalgia
Mark and Alyson,
I emailed you on 8/17/2005 about improvements with my Fibromyalgia and after nine months of taking ThreeLac wanted to update you further. My mental fog and pain is gone - yes gone! I still occasionally have some bouts of fatigue to deal with, but due to improvements in my mental condition, I am now not afraid to commit to doing some bible teaching when asked. Before I would refuse because I was unsure of what my mental state would be on any given day. I am glad God directed me to find your website and try ThreeLac. Thanks for your advice and wonderful website. You may use my update for your testimonies. I believe ThreeLac can help others and they owe it to themselves to try it. I was considering retiring at one point, but now plan to work on for a while. I pray that others out there will be helped by ThreeLac as much as I have been.
God's Blessings,

Hi Mark,
I have been using ThreeLac for over a year...and it did nothing for me. At Christmas I had a full blown attack again...was very upset...went on the other stuff to shake this again...and was mad at ThreeLac. Well after a month of the other choices (you had tried them), I stumbled across your website and read the last portion...what not to use. This is what you wrote: "...this is a slow and steady process. Do not refrigerate ThreeLac or store it near heat or in direct sunlight. Do not take natural antibacterial products such as oil of oregano, coconut oil, grapefruit seed extract (GSE), caprylic acid, garlic supplements (eating raw garlic is fine), olive leaf extract, or colloidal silver."
Well, I was taking ALL OF THE ABOVE together with ThreeLac....Good grief. Anyway, back on ThreeLac...2 packs a day...a month almost now... and it looks like it's working.. Thks for the good work ya do here....wonderful site you have. If you sell this product let me know... more than willing to order my next batch from you.
Thks again,
Norbert

Subject: Hypothyroid Update
Testimonial update on our 21 year old daughter by her mother, Donna Splain, RN
Jenna, at the age of 18 had many health challenges and had been ill for years when we found ThreeLac in the summer of 2003. When I found Mark and Ayson's site I was looking for reasons why my daughter had ulcers in her mouth and esophagus, chronic fatigue, brown mucous in the back of her throat, thryoid and gastrointestinal problems.
I almost fell off my chair when I read the symptoms list and found Jenna's symptoms on that list. I immediately called Mark and ordered the ThreeLac from Global Health Trax through his site.
After missing the first semester of her freshman year at college and recovering from the removal of some toxic root canal teeth, the ThreeLac really started to seriously work for Jenna. It was a progressive course of improvement over the first year and subsequently (2 years and 5 months). She is 95% better and enjoying being a college junior.
Something interesting happened in 2005. Jenna kept reporting that she did not feel well on her thyroid medicine. We had her tested and sure enough she was getting too much Synthroid. Her endocrinologist agreed to do the auto-immune testing to see if she still was making antibodies that attack the thyroid. Initially, at age 9 the test was positive for antibodies attacking her thyroid and her diagnosis was Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. To everyone's surprise, her test came back negative last summer. For that to reverse seemed amazing to her mother and father, a nurse and doctor.
Jenna was taken off of her Synthroid in the summer of 2005 and her thyroid function tests are staying in the normal range. If it remains that way she will not need medication as her body is making its own hormone.
We are assuming that the thyroid normalizing had something to do with getting the yeast under control so that her organs and glands were not so challenged with that burden of destruction. We would never assume that this would happen for everyone if they get their yeast under control, but wouldn't it be nice if people would just simply need less of their medications? Jenna also uses a patented amino acid product developed by MD's to clean, feed and repair her systems that were challenged by the yeast.
Jenna will be quick to tell you that, "ThreeLac saved her life". After losing most of her childhood to feeling ill it is a blessing to watch our beautiful daughter enjoy life again and become the educated, energetic, loving person she was destined to be.
Thank you Mark and Alyson for your critical role in helping us help our daughter!
P.S. Please consult your physician before ever changing anything about your medications. Thyroid medication is a very serious medicine that should never be adjusted or stopped without a doctor's order. We need to work in cooperation with our health care professionals so they stay in the loop of our progress.

Hi Alyson,
I went back to taking 2 ThreeLac per day and I think this time I'm really ready to move on to three.
Last night was my frist night w/o sleeping meds. I went from 15mg to 7.5 and over the past several weeks I've emptied the 7.5mg capsule by 3/4 - and still felt hungover in the morning. I'm not sure how I feel this morning though the first thing I did was empty the dishwasher and clean up the dishes in the sink without even thinking about it. That must be a good sign. I'm down to 2 Ultram a day and 1/2 a Provigil. It's amazing. You have no idea (yes, you probably fo) how far I've come in a few short months.
Oh, and what's amazing is NO SUGAR CRAVINGS. I have used Stevia for years but I'd look at chocolate and knowing it would make me sick didn't matter. (In the past there were times that I'd plan I could be "down" for X days after eating chocolate, and binge). The sweetest I get now is dried fruit and goji berries. There are food bars that I've eaten for a while since I'm not allergic to anything in them - organic and "live" - and even those are too sweet for me now. This is great.
So, I'm going to vacuum my house now and get a fire going in the living room and enjoy my day. i haven't had this much energy in I don't know how long. I went out yesterday and was really tired by late afternoon - and usually, that would mean today would be a lost day. Nope. I got up today rearing to go - after about an hour of slowly increasing energy. I used to be happy when I had a good day, now every day I feel a little better and I can't even remember the last bad day I had. I remember "tired" days - but not bad days.
I've also noticed that my brain is functioning better and that's as important as physically better. I am now able to retort when something is said. For years now I've noticed that when I'm in a situation that requires an immediate response, I can't do it. Afterwards I'd think, if only I said this or that or... Daily, I seem to be more on top of it; my thinking is quicker; my head clearer. you have no idea what this means to me. I am on my was to getting my life back. It's real and not just a dream. My body and mind are healing and there are really no words to express how it feels. It's like I walked around with half a brain - like I was stoned or something. The "Fibro-fog" has left the building!
Thank you for being here for all of us and for the work you do!
Have a terrific weekend.
Take care,
Inez

Dear Mark,
I thought I would update you and send the testimonial I promised, in the long form! Generally, I am doing so well all the time. I am still at top level of ThreeLac and Candex, magnesium, Metamucil, molybdenum, phytoplankton but I feel so good. I still have small symptomolgy - occasional ear itching, occasional butt itching (to get real technical!!), and am still clearing out the toe fungus.
Symptoms for the dark days were - seizures, fatigue (oh, the fatigue!), gut pain, constipation, vertigo, mouth sores, high blood pressure, pale skin tone, anxiety, depression, itching in all THE places, toenail fungus.
Going gluten free certainly helped but I was still feeling generally crappy. It was DEFINITELY your help and ThreeLac that pulled me through the knothole. I was thinking the other day how grand life really was! WOW, what a change from the dark days when I wasn't sure I could continue.
As you know, I recommend ThreeLac to all my clients - I am a clinical social worker in private practice and have seen some remarkable changes in my clients. I wish I could take the credit for that but it is truly the ThreeLac and your help!!
Mark, if I get to heaven before you do, I'm going to poke a hole and pull you through! You deserve to be on a big fluffy cloud. My sincerest gratitude to you and Alyson for all you have done for me!
THANK YOU!
Edith Haenel.
P.S. If there is any way I can help you or cheer someone else along other than the testimonial, please be sure to call on me. Healing isn't complete until we give it away. That's why I give out your website multiple times a week to clients!!!

Hi Mark,
Hope you had a nice Christmas break. It's been nice getting feedback from others. Z's Dad is in town. In all of 2005 he was only here for a month... mid Aug-Sept., so Z really hasn't seen him all year. In the past each time it takes Z a few days to warm up to him. In August it only took 2 hours or so, but he still always came to me to meet his needs. However, this time, as SOON as he saw his dad he ran straight up to him & gave him a big hug. My husband was speechless... it was awesome. He then took him to the sofa & sat on his lap. He also goes to him now when he wants something. He was cheeky too... dad went into a room and closed the door, Z wanted to go in too, so said "open door" so his dad opened it & I walked in with Z, he then gently pushed me, so I said "you want mom to go away?" & he said "go away" & gently kept pushing me until he pushed me out of the room, then closed the door with me on the other side so he could have dad all to himself. (cute)
We also had people over that we haven't seen in a month, Z went up to them without being asked & played with them, sat on their shoulders etc. & had a great time. My friend also commented about how he is so social now :>) I took him to bed later but he realized hey this is a party why should I be in bed & he came down & had fun for another hour, he's never done this.
He opened his Christmas presents for the first time & played with all his & his brother's new toys. He plays a few new games well with me & his brother and let another child teach him how to use a hockey stick.
My husband feels he is now aware of what is going on around him. He takes me to his room when it's bedtime, this is a week old. He's been sleeping through the night & falling asleep on his own for a few months now. Another biggie for us is he is happy to try out new foods...new veggies, even spicy food (he huffs & puffs but still eats it) ...at least he will taste it... not always, but mostly. earlier if he didn't like the look of it he wouldn't eat it.
Receptive language is better, expressive is about the same as last time... still has his "I wants" occassionally hear something new. Sometimes, he says what sounds like a sentence but no one understands it. He can now operate the VCR (power on, tape in, TV on, eject & even rewind!!!!!! ) and also worked out the portable DVD player that they use in his ABA sessions as a reward.
So over all much better... hoping for big gains in the spontaneous speech dept.

Mark,
Well, it has been a year since my son and I first took ThreeLac. We are now down to one packet every third day, just for some maintenance. I continue to feel light years better than I did a year ago, and MY SON IS TALKING UP A STORM!!
Thomas' development has "skyrocketed". Now at three years of age, he has gone from no speech at all (in April), to now saying four word sentences, can count to 15 and knows 20 letters of the alphabet. He can identify his name and his sister's name, and loves to spell out words!! He had some preschool testing, and his IQ tested near genius at #135!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Needless to say, this formerly VERY NERVOUS MOTHER is now calm and collected where her son's development is concerned.
THANK YOU THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! For changing our lives!! I almost had an autistic son, now I have a star.
Very Sincerely,

Alyson, I'm so grateful to you for helping me through this. I had felt so good and now you've explained why the symptoms are coming back.I was bound up (intestinal blockage), and it happened so quickly. The metamucil worked much better than citrucel I used for the first time yesterday. I know it will help also when I spread the OE+ over 3 doses in a day instead of the 19 drops I'm up to all at once. Plus, I was amazingly surprised when I switched doctors and she did the usual of start w/ labs, what a difference. Labs previously done 6 mo. ago. RESULT: LABS GOOD, NO FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY: WOW! My cholsterol now/ 195 was/211. HDL now/80 was/ 43. LDL now/ 101 was/ 121. Triglycerides NOW/ 69 was 236. The only change I've made is ThreeLac & OE+. My sugar cravings are gone too. ** You can post this if you'd like.** Thanks, Amy in AZ

Dear Mark,
First many thanks for that web page it has really made a difference in my life. However I would like to ask for your help. I have started to take it in July first only half a pack of Three Lock. In a week almost all my symptoms disappeared. Indigestion, bloating, hand and feet swelling, hair falling, etc just to name few. I have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia in 1993 so I am taking medication for that. I did not stop my medicine, just a few times which might cause my problem also. However I started to take oxygen at the beginning of August and than my schizophrenia symptoms were so bad that I needed to see my psychiatrist. When I stopped taking the oxygen and just continued with Three! Lock I felt better and all my mental problems disappeared. I am not sure how to interpret this. If it is causing me problems than according to me it means that my mental illness is connected to Candida. I am turning to you since my doctor can not help me in that. You might have some experience with similar cases. I very much would appreciate if you could suggest something how to proceed with taking the oxygen. My mind is so clear now that I have never been sharper and that is because of Three Loc.
Thanks for reading this.
Regards,
Eva
(We told Eva to stop taking the OE+ altogether, as she was probably killing off too much yeast and the toxins can cause a flare up of symptoms).

Hello,
I have had Epstein-Barr and Fibromyalgia since 1999 and am going through menopause at the age of 40. My mother found your website and I have been taking 1 packet of Three Lac and 3 drops of OE+ for almost 4 weeks. I have noticed some improvements, for example: my vision has improved, my hair is no longer falling out by the handfuls, my nails are stronger, the brown patches on my face are fading and I have been able to stop 2 prescription medications that I had been taking along with an OTC sleep medicine (just to get 6 hours of sleep at night!). Now I am only taking the OTC medication for sleep and am trying to get off of that. I am still on prescription hormones and pain pills and hope to stop taking those as well. I am really encouraged.
Thank you for your time (and your website!),

Sheila/Mark,
I thought I would touch base with you both to let you know of our daughter's good progress.
As I told you about 6 weeks ago, my 11-year-old daughter has suffered from varying levels of anxiety for many years, along with some learning issues primarily related to short-term memory and comprehension issues. Recently, she started having several uncontrollable "tics" such as rapid eye blinking, throat clearing, and hand movements. She has always been very sensitive to light, as well as to chemicals. She had numerous ear infections and sinus infections as a child, and has taken antibiotics (Amoxicilin) somewhere between 15-20 times in her life.
She was diagnosed by a Neurologist as having Tourette's Syndrome. At the time we were speaking with the Neurologist, I mentioned to him that she has this odd "sugar craving," and I told him that she could live on sweets, pasta and white bread. He just rolled his shoulders and said he didn't think it was related. She was given a prescription for a mild anti-depressant that we really did not want to do, but we did not want to see our child suffer any longer either. Fortunately, the anti-depressant has significantly helped her anxiety, but it had no effect on her learning issues nor her Tourette's Syndrome. The tics continued for over a month unabated while on the anti-depressant.
Right after this, we went to a party and ran into an old neighbor whose son has Autism. She told us about the link to Autism from various allergies, heavy metals, etc., and how she had correct many of his issues through diet and a detoxification. It made us wonder if there was some other cause to our daughter's issues. I did an Internet search, and found an article written by a board-certified allergist named Dr. Doris Rapp about food allergies and Tourette's Syndrome from Association for Comprehensive NeuroTherapy on www.lattitudes.org.
I then contacted you, Sheila, (Sheila Rogers, Director of ACN) who provided us with a great source of information. Thanks to your help, we found a local allergist that specializes in environmental medicine, and he confirmed that our daughter has Candidiasis, or an overgrowth of Candida. (We can't thank you enough, Sheila!!!) You also recommended IRLEN testing, but after scheduling it, we decided to wait on the IRLEN testing until we found out whether we got results from treating the Candida.
While we liked the doctor very much, we decided we wanted to try a less severe treatment first. His treatments included weekly injections of diluted Candida, heavy doses of the Nystat (Nystatin), a restrictive diet, and various vitamins and pro-biotic supplements. I found many instances of people that found that their Candida had mutated after taking heavy doses of antibiotics, and their Candida came back worse as soon as they stopped taking them.
So again, I did more Internet research, and came across your website, Mark. (www.Candidafree.net). We began using ThreeLac, Jarro-dophilus, Candex, Fiber Choice, Vitamin B12, Magnesium Asporotate, Malic Acid, as well as limiting her sugar intake dramatically. (We did not eliminate wheat or dairy, as there was no indication she was having any issues to those.)
Within one day of beginning this regimen, her Tourette's Syndrome symptoms (the eye blinking, muscle movements, throat clearing) went away completely. She also has become "better spoken" and was able to communicate much more clearly. This was noticed by not only my wife and me, but others that do not live with her or see her daily.
When she accidentally got sugar back in her system on two separate occasions, the Tourette's Syndrome symptoms came back immediately. Once we discovered where the sugar came from, we eliminated it and the symptoms went away again by the next day.
We are now up to three (3) ThreeLacs per day with no side effects. She still has some of the learning issues, but based upon our "sugar" reaction we can tell we do not completely have the Candida under control yet. We're hopeful the learning issues will get better in time, and we are hopeful to get off the anti-depressant in time as well. (Once you are on them, you can't just quit cold turkey, though, as they can have bad side effects. So we'll have to do this slowly.)
Anyway, I wanted to thank you both for your tremendous help. Our daughter is making great progress, and we feel very fortunate to have found both of you. I'll keep you in the loop as we continue on in our treatments.
Thanks again!
Rich W.

Hi Alyson superb results. You advised me to start 3Lac with loads of constipation support and it worked beautifully. Hardly any herxheimer reaction at all except for some mild aching. Nothing to what I have experienced before in my 18 years with this condition.Thanks

My name is Dee Luker. I’m a 56-year-old bipolar woman. I came to Mark because I couldn’t read. I’m a writer and not being able to read was a big deal. Mark was astonished that I wasn’t more concerned with my suicidal tendencies than I was with my inability to read. But that was the brain fog I was in. Due to a personal crisis, my life was in shambles and I didn’t have the ability to pick up the pieces. The brain fog affected my ability to comprehend and problem solve. I was on mega doses of anti-psychotic drugs. I was on so many that I had problems paying the co-pays on them.
I was extremely skeptical that something could help me that was that simple. Mark reassured me, and as a personal friend whom I trusted, I decided to give it a try. To my astonishment and pleasure, I now can read again and enjoy one of my favorite past times. My ability to problem solve and get my life together has returned. I’ve been able to cut my medications in half. Being a rapid cycler who gets in mixed states, I will always have to be on medications because I do tend to get very suicidal when in the mixed state. The Threelac has calmed me down and I rarely have those mixed states. Threelac has given me the ability to recognize when they are coming and I can then medicate properly to head off trouble at the pass. Before, I was a loose cannon firing shots and destroying all that I loved and cherished.
Now, due to Threelac, I can THINK before I act. I will always be more sensitive to stress than most people as that is the nature of being bipolar. Stress used to make my medicines spontaneously stop working. Now, with Threelac, I have the ability to take myself to a quiet place and talk myself through the stressful situation and not freak out as I used to do. I’ll never go so far as to say I’m well or healed, as I know my disease, bipolar, lurks inside me constantly. But by being on Threelac and adhering to the medicine prescribed in low doses now, I can have a normal life. I have this monster under control. I control it rather than it controlling me as it was doing eight months ago.
I highly recommend it to anyone with bipolar illness to use in conjunction with his or her psychotropic medications. You will find, in time, the doses can be lowered and the amount of medications will be cut down and you will be doing and feeling great.

Thank you for your instructions for taking the ThreeLac.
I found your web site while searching for help with my sinus problems. I came across several Doctor's reports stating that they are finding that fungus is a big cause for sinus problems. I have suffered with chronic sinus drainage and headaches for years, but I wanted to let you know that I have not taken any medication for them in 3 days. This is the longest I have gone without medication in over 6 months and I feel great. I occasionally will feel a little sick to my stomach, but besides that I haven't encountered any other side affects.
I am also taking the Oxygen Elements Plus. I started taking them both at the same time. This is the best I have felt in years.

Dear Mark:
After reading your story I ordered ThreeLac and Oxygen Elements Plus. For the first time in "years" my urologist told me my urine culture came back "negative" whereas before it was always full of strep-type stuff as well as blood. Well, no more. I was diagnosed with Candida years ago and I feel after taking these products for about 2 months I am on the road to recovery. All in all, I'm delighted with my results.
Best regards,
Catherine S.
Note from Mark: (Catherine had some adominal bloating with ThreeLac, which is a die-off symptom. Since she didn't order here and never got a copy of our instructions, we told her the single most important rule - get the bowels cleaned out to get rid of the yeast toxins).

Dear Mark and Alyson,
I'm sending you this testimonial update on my bipolarity. December 2005 will be two years that I have been taking Three Lac. During the course of these 2 years there have been remarkable changes to my mind and body. I have never felt better physically and mentally. I no longer need antianxiety or antidepressants to keep me balanced. I no longer have feeling of hopelessness. Most of all, I am finally starting to have a sense of purpose in my life. Along with Three Lac I take 4000 mcgs. of sublingual B12 and flax seed oil every day. These are essential in rebuilding the immune system. Most important also is No sugar, No bleached flower and No gluten products in your diet. I truly hope that my experiences will help others beat this insidious infection.
Regards,
Michael M.
Subject: rebounding from antibiotics
Date: 08/22/2005
I've been using the Three Lac I found through your site for several months and experienced a reversal of my fibromyalgia symptoms. I had been on a highly nutritious diet with supplements, including acidophillus, so that may have helped me to show such rapid improvement with the Three Lac. A week ago, I had to take a course of antibiotics, Septra, and my FMS symptoms returned. I continued taking three doses of Three Lac per day. I'm wondering if you're aware of anything I could do to aid this. The muscle cramping and weakness, and the brain fog has set back in. It's been three days since I finished with the antibiotics.
Thanks,
Linda C.
(Note from Mark: Antiobiotics kill not only the bacteria in ThreeLac, but also any other beneficial bacteria in the gut, causing a rebound of the yeast overgrowth. We advised Linda to be diligent in keeping her bowels moving well to get rid of the yeast toxins and just be patient while ThreeLac and the body rebalance the intestinal flora).

Mark,
I was diagnosed several years ago as having fibromyalgia. After reading your website and looking at my history with infections and antibiotics, I was convinced that Threelac was worth a try. I have been on Threelac for about 3 months and have experienced very good results. My mental fog is lifting and my memory is much better and I am once again able to function fairly well. I know I have turned the corner and am still improving each week.
I am convinced some of my friends should give it a try. How do I go about purchasing Threelac to give to them to try? My intent is to give them the first box and if they have positive result, then get them on a purchase program of their own. I am not particularly interested in making a lot of money, but offering help to those I see with the same symptoms as I experienced before getting on Threelac. I look at it as a type of ministry to those like myself who have spent thousands of dollars trying to determine why they feel so poorly. They, like me have been told they have fibromyalgia or “old age” or that their doctor cannot find the cause. From the money I would make from the sales I would invest as needed in more product to give to others to see if Threelac would help them. Any advice you can give me will be appreciated.
Thanks for the wonderful website and help you have been.
Regards,
David
Hi Alyson and Mark,
Sorry this has taken me so long to get back to you. Crazy summer.... I continue to highly recommend your product and your website to everyone I know who has autistic kids or yeast issues.
Josh is almost eight years old (his birthday is in November) and he has been on Threelac for approximately eight months. We vary from two to three packets a day depending on whether or not we are chelating. Josh was diagnosed with autism at 17.5 months. Although he developed normally as far as gross motor skills go, he did not develop communication or socialization skills. He did not speak at all (other than babbling) until after he was 4 years old. At this point though he taught himself to read using phonics flash cards which he would line up all over the floors of the house. He still speaks as little as possible and has a lot of pronoun reversals and repetitive monologues. He is extremely independent and would live in this house all by himself and be content as long as he had computer access and a full fridge!
When we first started the Threelac I had Josh on a sugar, yeast-free diet (as well as gluten and casein freee which Josh has been since he was two years old) and we were rotating through olive leaf extract, grapefruit extract, and oregano oil in addition to a high dose of probiotics. In spite of this regimen, and the eventual addition of a two week round of dyflucan, we still had a serious yeast issue. This manifested itself in serious giggling fits and drunken behaviour. He would even wake up in the middle of the night to giggle some more. Within a week of starting the Threelac this improved significantly and we have had only minor, very short-lived recurrences since then. I would rate Josh's improvement in this area at 95%. Now he only laughs at things that are funny in his environment instead of things that are funny in his head. I am so thankful!
I hope this is helpful, and I look forward to reporting continued improvements.

Subject: ThreeLac Progress Report
Hello Alyson,
Thank you for e-mailing me on the subject of AD/ADHD/Autism spectrum issues with Candida. And yes!!!! Threelac was a lifesaver for me and for my two kids. As you know, I am the state rep for unlocking autism in Ohio and I have suggested to every person i come into contact with to have their child on this supplement. Jake was first diagnosed at age 2 1/2 with autistic like behavior. I first tried the traditional route and after waiting around for 9 months of testing, we got nowhere. I then went to natural therapies with special diets, supplementation and eventually chelation. For years he showed up with Candida, after many trial and errors we conquered it with threelac. Jake is now 6 1/2 years old and since last year, his diagnosis was dropped. He didn't even qualify for learning disabled which is a miracle!
I have had Jake on threelac for a little over a year now and I still have him on 1 packet a day for maintenance. I started him out with 1 packet a day for 30 days, then moved him up to 2 or 3 a day for 30 days then back to one. I know it helped him "calm" down to where he could sit in a traditional style classroom and follow instruction and stay on task.
My daughter who is now 9, and is considered bright, used to have "behavioral" issues like uncontrollable mood swings, crying one minute and laughing hysterically the next. She would crave sugar so bad that I would pull her off the top pantry shelf where I hid the sugar container so she wouldn't eat it by the handfuls (truly a physical battle). Two years ago her second grade teacher told me her handwriting was unacceptable for her age and her artwork was that of a younger child even though she excelled in other areas. Her problem with Candida was also severe. I also put her on threelac last summer and saw an incredible breakthrough. She pulled straight "A"s in her third grade year, even handwriting!!! She stopped her tantrums and she and I get along so much better now! (no more battles with sugar) She even understands that sugar can hurt her and will limit it herself now.
I have another story to share. My neighbor who has a 3 year old boy was suffering from severe diarrhea for 3 weeks. She knows I dabble in supplements and asked if there was something I could do to help her. I gave her a couple of packets of ThreeLac and the next day she called to tell me the diarrhea stopped! The suggestions from her pediatrician did not work, but the ThreeLac did. She couldn't wait to call her doctor and tell him. Well, we know what they would say "Just a fluke!".
As for myself, I feel more energetic than I have felt in years. More importantly, my head is not in such a fog and my thinking is much clearer. At first it was too expensive to have all 3 of us taking it, but now I make sure I get a daily packet too. It is truly a miracle supplement that really works. if you need me to write a testimonial, feel free to use my name!!
Take care and stay in touch!
Sincerely,
Julie Snoeberger
Update:
Good Morning!
Thank you for sharing that with me -- that makes my day! Way to go Judy!
I am celebrating with her! I shared a similar experience this week at my sons IEP meeting. The physical Ed specialist announced that Jake no longer qualifies for PT (physical therapy) He is now dropped. The speech teacher announced he scored within normal range for everything except voice therapy (he is hoarse from screaming for 3 solid years as a toddler) The reading specialist said he is right on track for normal range reading level for the first grade. He is in the top 10 percent of his class in the math ability. His weakness at this time is handwriting and he is getting tutoring for that. They were trying to figure out what diagnosis or criteria he fit for the tutor. I was ecstatic!
3 years ago when I attended our first IEP for Jake - I had to bring him with me because there wasn't anybody who could babysit him and know how to handle him. I remember clearly he was making moaning sounds and rocking in the corner of the classroom.
When the IEP group asked me what my expectations were for Jake, I said to lead a normal life and be happy. They all looked at each other and had empathy written all over their faces! I remember leaving that meeting and bawling all the way home. Now, I celebrate life in a more meaningful way and thanks to Jake he has made me a better person. Threelac was the key to correcting his foundation of health and made it possible for other nutritional interventions to work!
Thank you for building your website!
Sincerely,
Julie
Alyson,
I just ordered two cans of Three Lac and the Membership today using the link you gave me. I put a note on the order with your membership number so hopefully you will receive credit for the sale. ThreeLac is doing wonders for my entire family, especially my children. My daughter’s severe eczema is completely cleared up, my urinary tract infection is finally improving and most importantly: my son is actually coming out of his autistic fog. Three weeks after taking ThreeLac daily, he learned to ride a two-wheel bicycle for the first time ever. After six weeks on Three Lac, his speech is remarkably improved and his ability to read, write and process language has literally skyrocketed practically overnight. I am not even exaggerating!!! His self-stimulating behaviors are also decreasing dramatically.
I have been struggling and searching for holistic and dietary treatments for him for over four years. Believe me when I say I have tried EVERYTHING and have spent literally thousands of dollars on all kinds of supplements, etc. With our amazing success in just six weeks on ThreeLac, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for this outstanding product, any further information you can provide about how to use it effectively will be greatly appreciated.
I even can’t begin to thank you and your husband for all your help.
With sincerest gratitude,
Judith B.
Update:
Hi Alyson and Mark,
James is doing phenomenally well after three months on ThreeLac. I am stunned, shocked and truly amazed at the results we are having with James so far. I now strongly believe Candida has been the primary cause of James’s autistic symptoms. Alleviating Candida with ThreeLac is actually eliminating his autistic characteristics. In the past, diet, Nystatin, and supplements including all kinds of “super strains” of probiotics just didn’t get James’s Candida under control. Nothing we tried for the past four years even came close to the dramatic impact ThreeLac has had on his condition. It is certainly possible many children diagnosed on the autism spectrum can be significantly helped with your product.
Thank you, I am grateful beyond words to have found this miracle product in time to save my son.
With Deep Appreciation,
Judy
Dear Mark--Could you recommend the dossage/regime for a 6 year old with Autism? We have been giving Threelac to her since Christmas. A few days after starting it ( at one pac a day) she started saying some words again. She seems to have leveled off in progressing so I didn't know if I could give her two pacs/day. We are also giving Oxygen Elements @ 3 drops/day. I read you recommended Flaxseed oil. When we were actively trying to heal her leaky gut (about 2 yrs. ago) this was very benificial---very powerful, in that her seizures would flair up with each up in dossage---but very benificial. I was thinking of giving her Flaxseed again. Anne
Hi Mark
I have been experimenting with three lac on myself and have found out that after 21 years of searching for medical answers you have a sollution for "my"problems.
I fit 99% of symptoms on the web page.
We have a 18 year old daughter with PDD-NOS not living with us and is on all the modern neuro meds. & have not been able to use on her yet. Also a 6 year old with autism living with us, after 3 years of searching autism I see the simularities of canadida, MMR's, (and aspartame begining in the mid 1980), and so on.
I tried 4 days of 1/4 package of three lack and she had very painful stomach & constapation, after giving her "the oil" she had bowl movements more regular than ever before, we noticed a large improvement in eye contact and verbal skills, It's been 4 weeks after the three lack and we continued to see improvement.
We have seen the potential of her (thanks to your information) and am curious if you have any information on treating autistic children with these products.
Our 7 year old complained of bad taste in her mouth every day -all day and has had white mucus stools and sore bowl movements right from diapers, also I noticed she seemed a little lathargic compared to other children in her class and I gave her 1/2 package doses for 7 days. Now she is full of energy, she just had a 100% on her spelling test for the first time in school and all other grades have improved as well, the redness around her eyes are gone, and sleeping in our home has improved as well.
I could go on and on with so many things that have changed and you have showed me the potential of this product and I thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you again
Tim
Alyson,
My son continues to do very well. We order about 2 cans of Threelac every month for him, his sister and me. The probiotics in the Threelac are helpful to combat some of the medications he needs for his gut too.
He starts kindergarten in the fall on time without need of special assistance. So yes, we have a miracle. I am on the radio a lot lately talking about how autism is treatable and many kids do recover. I was on a Dallas station a couple of weeks ago.
Take care,
Mary

Hi Alyson,
I am SO PLEASED with what 3Lac is doing for me and my husband. In addition to taking care of major symptoms like depression, anxiety, bowel problems, we are both noticing how nice our skin feels and we are both slowly getting rid of our toe fungus. I intend to write a longer testimonial about my epilepsy, high blood pressure (completely off meds), depression, anxiety, bowel problems, celiac, and on an on ad nauseum, as soon as I am fully through the knothole.
Thanks so much about your support regarding the vertigo. I can let go of any worry or any need to try to find something else now and just ride through it. It is not too hard to do now since so many other symptoms have faded into oblivion. I will send a testimonial, but until then use whatever you wish.
Sincerest regards,
Edith H.

Dear Mark,
My pain is so much better seems it get better every day. I snowshoe in the winter for exercise and I have taken a header on all fours for the last three days, so I am sore from that but actually I have gotten a significant increase in range of motion in my neck. I can turn around much more easily in the car to look behind me. It is such a relief. I am also thrilled to be down in magnesium. Took 2000 today. I am also having a routine colonoscopy on Monday (colon cancer on both sides of the family. Actually I think it is celiac and yeast infection on both sides, but of course, you are never a prophet in your own land, so I don't think anyone believes me about that connection) so should get really cleaned out. But I am so convinced with your help it is onward and upward!! I am a play therapist so I am on the floor a lot playing with kids so to have such a significant reduction in pain is a big deal. Makes getting up and down so much easier. Also to do play therapy when one is fatigued is no picnic - I have been enjoying my time with kids so much more again so that is a godsend!!! How can I thank you enough!?!?!?

Hello,
I've been amazed by three-lac. Within the first week I had improved Gastric symptoms and reduced Eczema. Also what I had assumed was persistent and steadily progressive arthritis has backed off with great improvement in range of motion.
I've been fighting some of these things for 15 years and even inquired with my different doctors about 'Bowel Flora & Fauna'. They tested for worms and such with negative results, but never suspected Candida. I find it hard to believe that the world of conventional medicine hasn't caught on. I'm going to mention this to my present Doctor, a DO, and try to get her to study some.

Hi Mark,
I've just placed my second order for ThreeLac and I want to tell you how pleased I am with the results. Your 3 page letter of instructions is MOST VALUABLE. I refer to it often. After one week, I noticed such a difference that I put my husband on it. I notice a big difference in his health issues. I have increased my dose to two packets a day, but Bill isn't ready yet. Like I said, your letter along with the product is so very helpful. Thank you again for your wonderful encouragement.

Thanks Lynn........I am feeling alot better these days..One of the biggest changes that I have noticed is my energy ..I just worked 2 weeks of plant shutdown and most days were 10-13 hrs and amazingly I did it no prob... I have to tell you that last weekend I ran into some friends that I have not seen in a few months and they could not hardly believe the change in me..They said I look 3 years younger now that I no longer look "sickly " anymore............It was sure nice to hear that from them..People are noticing changes in me, even my physique is changing..As a result of getting full absorption of my food and supplements my muscles are now responding to my weight training alot better...I am on the mend.... It will still be a long road but I figure a year before I am back to my old self but that's a small amount of time considering I was sick for 12 years ..I really hope that I can be an inspiration one day for other's that are suffering this horrible illness...
Tell your other Candida suffer's my story and send them my emails if you wish..I still have most of my old sent emails to you when I was on the verge of self destruction and when I read them now I cannot hardly believe that it was me writing them. So Lynn, I suppose we can definately put me on the list of success stories.(so far so good).. Bye for now.........your Canadian friend...kevin

Mark,
I just got back from the doctor (vulva specialist) who I went to 2 weeks ago. He was amazed at how much better things looked (down there) and told me that everything looked normal and to keep on doing what I have been doing!!! He took a culture just incase but thought everything would turn out normal! Thank you for your guidance, All it took was one capsule. This is after trying to rid the infection for two months with 6 rounds of Diflcan (2 a week) and Oral Nystatan and prescription vaginal medications!!!
Wow..that Threelac is amazing!

Date: 6/21/2005
Hi! Just wanted to let you know how things are going here. It will be three weeks tomorrow that I started ThreeLac and I'm still taking one packet a day. For over two weeks nothing really happened. I was still in a lot of pain even though I was taking 1800 MG of ibuprofen a day and taking Prilosec to protect my stomach from ulcers.. I was having difficulty walking and getting up out of a chair. I was rather discouraged but refused to give up. I had the ThreeLac and I was going to take it. But, a few days ago, things changed! I'm still taking the ibuprofen but my pain has decreased considerably. I not only can walk but I also have a spring in my step! I even did gardening for 1 1/2 hours on Saturday! (If I did that amount of work before ThreeLac, I would be in terrible pain and "out of commission" for 4-5 days!) If this continues, I will get off the ibuprofen and Prilosec and switch to Tylenol and, hopefully, end up taking no pain meds! (I've had this chronic pain for 18 years! WOW)
Also, my blood sugar has gone down! I am diabetic but have always kept my blood sugar within the "normal" range...usually around 6 with the blood work tests. But the past couple of days my blood sugar has been even lower. For example, last night I had chicken and broccoli alfredo with pasta and a tossed salad. (I know, I know. I know what you're thinking.) Usually, after a meal like that in the evening, when I check my sugar the next morning, the numbers are in the 160-170 range. This morning it was 99! I couldn't believe it. So, when I see my doctor next week, I'm asking for a very low dose of glyburide because I think I will be needing less and want to have it with me when I visit my children in a couple of weeks. (He's probably not going to be too thrilled about my taking ThreeLac, but tough. It really seems to be working. It's sure better than all of the chemicals he's prescribed.) I won't be having the blood work for my blood sugar done for another three months. I'll be anxious to see what those numbers will be.
I could go on and on, I'm so thrilled. You guys will be getting a novel when I write my testimony! I just thought you'd like the update. You have been such a help. Just knowing you are there to answer my questions brings me peace of mind. Thank you.

Dear Charlotte,
I am using a product called Threelac. It fights yeast over growth or Candida in the body. Since using it, I have been able to reduce the amount of medications I have been on for bipolar. I often now no longer need a sleeping pill. Before the Threelac, I could not control myself enough for any stress management. Now I can which that has contributed to my being able to cut down on my medications. But, the Threelac gave me a "board room in my brain with its members present helping me to make some decisions"...if I may use an analogy. The product is made in Japan and put out by Global Health. My own psychiatrists noticed a measurable difference in me once I started taking the Threelac. It's worth investigating. Contact CobbCoInc@aol.com for more information. I have two bipolar friends now trying the product to see if it can help them. It's made a tremendous difference in my life.

Mark and Alison:
I can't tell you how grateful I am for you and your website. I am feeling so much better it's unbelievable. Started with oxygen elements on Sunday and have been sleeping better than I have for months. These products are a god-send. Will step up to three packets of ThreeLac in two more weeks.
I called the alternative physician that my mom sees a couple of weeks ago and the nurse there said that ThreeLac is the product they recommend for Candida. The doctor doesn't even bother with Diflucan, etc. any more since their patients have had so much success with ThreeLac.
SIncerely,

Hi Mark,
I am sorry not to add this sooner. Two years ago I heard FM is worse with regular carbs (American diet) so I began a low carb way of eating. Not as severe as Atkins. This is probably why I had such fast results.
I live very near Amish and Mennonite communities, and while shopping for boots for my husband we stopped at a snack bar in the store. I noticed a flyer rack that said 85% of Americans have Candida. This got my interest so I inquired at the stand whose material this was. A tall Mennonite man came from behind the counter and told me he was a distributor, and had been using threelac for two years. I was surprised and asked him why they were using it.This part of the country has Lyme disease , and after testing, his Family had no sign of it but they were all still sick. Now don't ask me how they found this without the internet but they did.I was just amazed to find it here out in cow country.I hope it keeps going around the world.
Thank You

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the fantastic web site. I've been fighting this annoying monster for the past 10 years. I've always suspected Candida but after many attempts to get rid of it I just learned to live with it. Last year I was probably the worst I've ever been. At one point I really felt like I was dying with al the palpitations and panic attacks (very out of character for me). No matter what I ate I seemed to get an attack. My eyes became blood shot and my face and neck turned red. It really had me scared. I felt like my body was fighting me at every turn. I finally took a look at my tongue and was startled to see a thick layer of white cookie dough covering the entire tongue almost to the tip. Needless to say I did the research and found your site. If I was to elaborate on the incredible changes over the past year this would be a three page letter. Both the Threelac and OE+ are incredible and work just as everyone says they do. Even more so, it has helped many members of my family especially concerning their asthma.
The reason I'm writing this is to help those with IBS. One of the biggest problems with IBS concerns staying regular. Last year right before I started taking the Threelac my IBS had me stopped up for one week. I tried the mineral oil as you suggested but no luck. I then tried Milk of Magnesia. Still nothing. I finally took extra strength EX-Lax and that didn't work either. At this point I was going on 8 or 9 days and was really starting to worry. My mother then told me about a tea called Three Ballerina Tea. I tried a cup of this tea and let me tell you, there is nothing like it. The next day my constipation was over. I mean this tea is unbelievable. It's 100 times better than anything you could ever buy at the local drug store. I use this tea every once and awhile now to help clean out my system, but after about 1 week on Threelac my IBS disappeared and never came back (I gave some Threelac to three other people I know and they all had the same experience). I hope this is helpful to those looking for real solutions.
I'm usually skeptical when it comes to holistic remedies, and rarely take any kind of prescribed medicine if I can avoid it. I'm a pretty practical guy, probably from my engineering background, but you can't argue these facts. The Threelac and OE+ changed my life and the life of many people I've told about it. Some of them probably think I work for the company since I'm so adamant about taking the powder and drops, but it helps so many people that you get kind of excited to spread the word around. I'm still not all the way there yet as my eyes are still bloodshot, still a little red in the face and neck, and a few other symptoms. But if I told you the whole story it's been nothing short of a small miracle. Thanks again. It was the great info on your web site that confirmed my thoughts on my condition and put me on the road to recovery.
Thanks Again.
Dan
Update 10-25-2006:
My experience is on your website testimonials dated 5/27/05. In addition to that letter, I sent some OE+ to my grandmother about 8 months ago. She is now 89 and was on supplemental oxygen. I say, was, because I sent her a bottle of OE+ to try. Within three days she was completely off of her oxygen. Her doctor wanted to know what she was taking because they had never seen someone who required oxygen so suddenly not need it any more. She does use her oxygen once and awhile at night as a supplement when she feels she might need some, but during the day she is free of the O2 bottle and has a very active life for someone pushing 90 (she takes 3 drops, 3 times a day). :-) My symptoms are almost completely gone and the improvement over the last two years has been dramatic. Still no IBS or panic attacks. Those are gone forever. I'd say it's at least a 9.5 on the scale for improvement. I still have semi-bloodshot eyes and my tongue has a very faint white coating some times. My face and neck are sometimes a bit flush but nothing like it has been over the last 10 years.

Dear Mark, a friend of mine who knew I was suffering from extreme eczema on my feet, causing them to crack and bleed, and to a lesser extent on my hands, emailed me your webpage. After reading it, I ordered the ThreePac and Oxygen Plus and I have been on them now for two weeks. My feet and hands have cleared up beautifully, and I have lost some weight. What I have noticed is little outbreaks of psoriasis on my hands.....little spots....but I never had them before.
I am currently taking one dose of ThreePac and 7 drops of the Oxygen Plus and I have not suffered "die off" symptoms. I have suffered for years with IBS (with fecal incontenence) chronic extreme fatigue, UTI's, rosacea, fungus on my toenails and fingernails, athlete's foot, coated tongue, extremely sensitive skin on my face and thighs, itching of my legs, and just before I started on the program, real pain in my joints, especially hips, after seating for a while. When I got up to walk, it was embarrassing as for the first few steps, it was painful, it looked as though I were physically challenged in some way. That has stopped, along with most of the other symptoms, except this psoriasis which I did not have before.
I must admit that I do take a glass of wine in the evening and have not eliminated sugar from my diet. Could this be the problem? I had seen a holistic practitioner two years ago and after taking some blood samples told me that I had the long rhizoids of fungus and judging from the length of them, they had been in my system quite a long time. I used to take massive doses of antibiotics, both for the UTI's and the rosacea and also have a completely dysfunctional thyroid for which I have been on medication for over 30 years. I think all of it started many, many years ago with my first yeast infection for which I was prescribed antibiotics. I could write a lot more, but this is the gist of my situation, and any advice you may offer will be gladly accepted.
I thank you and your wife so much for sharing so much information about this condition. Barbara B.
(We advised Barbara to stop eating sugar and also to get her bowels cleaned out and moving well to get the yeast toxins out of her body. If they are not eliminated through the bowels, they will excrete through the skin. Almost all die-off symptoms can be avoided or eliminated by taking these two measures - Alyson)

Hello Mark and Allyson,
It has been awhile since we last corresponded. Hope everything is well with you.
Well, of course we are since we are Candida free! A little humor this morning.
I decided to go back to school and further my education on nutrition and diet. I just completed my coursework and received my certification last week. Now I am ready to put together a small business plan and become a distributor for all of the foundational supplements for my personal protocol for autistic kids. I am pleased to say that my son Jake ,who is now 7, is doing terrific. His school has dropped his IEP saying he no longer qualifies for special education services. So, we went from an autisitic diagnosis 4 years ago and he is completely normal. He rides his bike, is in a drama class for the theatre and attends traditional school with no extra support and has many friends from his class. Believe me, I am so ecstatic with a normal routine and a normal life!!!
I am not sure how well received my information is by other parents of spectrum kids. Some of them may think I am off my rocker, but I have living proof that autism IS curable.
Threelac is certainly one of my foundational supplements and a real must! So here is where I need your assistance. I have been sending quite a few people to your site (I just wasn't ready to handle distributorship until now) Even my nutritionist now carries it!
If you could fill me in what I need to get started, that would be great! When you get a chance, you can fill me in!
Thanks so much!

My son Ian was diagnosed with a learning disability when he was 7 (first grade). We have put him on Ritalan which was a BIG MISTAKE! He was either out of it or bouncing off the walls, that usually occurred between 12am-2am. We finally took him off of it ourselves. His Dr at the time agreed with us and we didn't even tell his teacher. We met with his teacher after he was off the drug 2-3 weeks later and the teacher said he's improving so much. We told him we took Ian off the drug 2-3 weeks prior. If you could of seen the look on the teachers face. Ian started his IEP's mid year in first grade. We had him transferred to another school that "specialized in special needs children". Well he's had a IEP since he was 7 and now he is 15. We have had him see one Dr after the other and no one could help us. They would put him on drugs for depression. ANOTHER BIG MISTAKE. We had one problem after another.
We found out from OSU that he had a number of development disorders. Autism/Aspergers. We were at wits end. Then I found Julie again. She was dealing with this same thing with her son Jake. She told me about this ThreeLac and the Candida/yeast that most of these kids suffer from. I was all into the natural way since the drugs were not working. Julie told me to take Ian off milk/dairy products. I did that, its been a year so far. The antibiotic's and the steroids that are in our milk today are just not good for these kids. The proteins that we can not break down that dairy products have. So I was interested in all the mentioned above. I was all for the natural way with the past experiences we had with putting him on drugs that really made things much worse for him. After taking him off dairy, I started the ThreeLac treatment. What a BIG difference. He was doing little things at first that we noticed. Like taking a shower or doing his homework without any back talk or shut downs. His behavior improved, his school work, his grades all improved. Even his face cleared up. (acne problems). Then we took him off of it because of reasons I wish not to discuss. That was in Dec of 2004. His face starting breaking out again, he was shutting down more, he was getting in trouble for his behavior at school, he grades were dropping. We just put him back on the ThreeLac again about 3 weeks ago, and the behavior, skin, and school work are improving again. He more pleasant to be around. It makes such a difference. If it wasn't for Julie and her support with all the information and natural ways, we may still be back at the drawing board trying to find a solution for Ian. I am a firm believer with going as natural as I can. All the foods we eat, the water we drink, its doing more harm than we are told and think. I refuse to put my son on any drug ever again, and I refuse to have any vaccines. That's a whole other story. If I knew then what I know now, my kids wouldn't of had vaccines.
I also have my other son (Mason) who is the opposite from my son Ian. Mason has a hard time staying focused and on task. He's a little hyper. He's never been diagnosed, because of the experience we had with Ian. So we give Mason the ThreeLac also, along with cod liver oil. He's been sick, so you can tell he hasn't taken the ThreeLac, which I just started him back on it today. He had an antibiotic, which I need to flush back out of his system. I can tell he's been off of the ThreeLac and the cod liver oil too. He has been very edgy, argues with everyone. So I started him back on it today. He is also off dairy.
I am currently using magnesium and zinc creams for Ian now to help him get better sleep at night. He lacks the minerals that he needs due to his "picky" diet. He doesn't eat a whole lot, so getting the right minerals and vitamins in him right now are a plus too. Just in the 3 weeks we've had him back on the ThreeLac, we have seen an improvement. When using the other interventions, minerals, and vitamins, I am sure we are going to see a BIG improvement.
My husband was a little skeptical at first, but he saw a big difference in both boys. We we took them off the ThreeLac, and he saw the change, he said, call Julie and order more of that stuff. So he's now a believer. I plan on taking the ThreeLac also after I get off my antibiotic. We are going as natural as we can. My girlfriend is even going this route. She was amazed on how much Candida she had in her system. She's ordering it also. Its worth all the work in the long run. I will do anything I can to make my family more healthy. It will be worth all my time and effort.

Subject: Update from Phoenix RN
Well, Hello again.
I am writing to update you on the FABULOUS progress my son has JUST begun to make on language development!!! In the past 10 days, I've increased his ThreeLac to 4 packets a day. All of a sudden about a week ago, he finally started using a few signs (that we had been trying to teach him forever, to no avail). and then 4 days ago he said "mama, dada, baba, no no, night night", and about 6 other words upon request, all at once!!! We were so blown away!!! I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that it was a direct result of the increased three lac, and that he just finally reached the level of three lac necessary to clear his brain fog!!!
We are elated!!! Every day since Christmas, I have been hoping "today will be the day" that he will speak. I nearly stopped his threelac a month ago, because I was so frustrated with the lack of progress at that time. Now, however, I am so GLAD I stuck with it!!! WAHOO!!!
As for me, I am up to 5 threelac's a day, and feeling the pocketbook pinch, but it is worth every dollar. I am almost off of all depression meds, just 10mg. of Lexapro for now, and then I plan to stop in a few weeks. It is truly a miracle. My house is clean, things are more organized, in general, my adult ADD, Anxiety and Depression are very nearly GONE! I take no pain medication now, no stomach acid reducers either. I feel about 10 years younger.
I shudder to think of the HELL my life would still be and would become without threelac, developing further fibromyalgia and having an autistic child. I was watching him, his personality, and his few words disappear month by month. Now, thanks be to god and threelac, I am watching him blossom. This amazing substance actually prevented the loss of my child. For that I will be forever in awe and deep gratitude. Thank you for letting me know of Threelac and a truly better and different future for myself and my son.
Take care,
Sincerely,
Deedra S.

Hi Alyson,
Just reporting in. Been on two packs Threelac for four weeks now (will progress to three soon) and feel really good. Energy levels are rising and symptoms are disappearing one by one. Have had no ill effects from coming off my HRT which I put down to my program. So happy I stuck with it and can't wait to feel even better.
Will still keep you posted.

Dear Mark,
Along about Christmas time last year I finally decided to take my health problems into my own hands since after 9 months of walking in pain the medical doctors still insisted on treating me for some kind of arthritis, (they weren't sure which kind) but none of their pills or medicines worked. Sounds familiar doesn't it? In sheer desperation I decided to try one can of this ThreeLac. Within just one week I noticed a substancial improvement but at the same time I also developed a severe problem with diarrhea which I attributed to this yeast fighting powder. So I switched over to some yeast fighter pills from the health food store and they continued to allow my symptoms to lessen but VERY slowly. Then by eliminating every single prescription drug and slowly adding them back, one at a time, I discovered that one of my prescription pills was causing the diarrhea, and not the ThreeLac as I had suspected. So day before yesterday I decided to continue taking the ThreeLac powder as I had 42 packets left. So I took two packets, one a day, for two days and imagine my surprise when all the pain in my shoulders and arms as well as the cramping in my hands has totally gone. I don't mean, ebbed away little by little, I mean totally disappeared like overnight! I am sure I am not out of the woods yet, although I am in a lot less pain and am sleeping better.
Sincerely,
Georgene K.

Hi Mark and Alyson:
Thank you for the advice of putting threelac in gel caps for vaginal yeast infections. I had the worst yeast infection yet (believe me I have had some bad ones, but that one took the cake) for 2 weeks I tried all sorts of home remedies from yogurt to garlic to apple cider vinegar..nothing and just putting in 1 capsule for 2 nights cleared it up! That is amazing, OBGYNs should learn about this stuff, it could save millions of women from a weeks worth of pain and discomfort with the standard anti-fungal pills and creams!
Anyway, we conferred with our naturopath and we all seem to be in agreement that I gave my boyfriend my Candida problems and he is the culprit of my reoccurring vaginal yeast infections, so he too is now on threelac and OE+. I'm currently on three packets a day and he takes two a day so we are blasting through those 60 packet cans. I would like to buy a case of threelac, but I'm hesitant because I'm not sure how long unopened cans of threelac last. Do they even have an expiration date? If unopened cans stay good for at least a year after purchase that's good enough for me. The savings of a case is just to hard to pass up, especially since I plan on taking 5 packets before I slowly go down to a maintenance dose and he plans on going up to at three!
Thank you again for all your advice. Threelac is an absolute miracle. All my symptoms are gone in just 6 weeks (except the yeast infections which my boyfriend and I are working on). I feel fantastic and my energy levels are simply amazing.

(Note from Mark: The expiration date on ThreeLac is 18 months)

Hi Alyson, I got my 3lac on Tues. I was very skeptical when I read some of the testimonials talk about the changes in such a short time. Well after 5 days I too can tell a difference. I am not in such pain from fibro, my brain fog is starting to lift. Yesterday was such a good day. It was the strangest feeling. It is almost like you can not figure out what is going on. Some of the changes are subtle, others hit you like a brick...like waking up before the alarm! What ... that never happens. I am the one who's hitting the snooze. I can't wait to see what happens next. Thank you for putting up this web site. I know that I came upon it by ac
